10 Skincare Tips for Managing Rosacea Flares
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that can cause redness, flushing, and tiny spots on the face. While there is no cure for rosacea, our SkinAddict experts have put together ten skincare tips that can help manage the symptoms and prevent flares. In this blog post, we will discuss our skincare advice that we hope you find useful.
Tip 1: Use Gentle Cleansers
Using gentle cleansers is crucial for managing rosacea. Harsh products can irritate the skin and trigger flares. Look for products that are free of fragrances and other irritants, and avoid using hot water when washing your face.

Tip 2: Moisturise Daily
Moisturising daily can help keep the skin hydrated and prevent dryness, which can worsen rosacea symptoms. Look for moisturisers that are specifically designed for sensitive skin and avoid those with fragrances or other irritants.

Tip 3: Protect Your Skin from the Sun
Sun exposure can trigger rosacea flares, so it is important to protect your skin from the sun. Wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30, and wear protective clothing, such as hats and long sleeves, when spending time outdoors.

Tip 4: Avoid Hot Drinks
Hot drinks, such as tea and coffee, can trigger rosacea flares. Stick to cooler drinks, such as water or iced tea, and avoid hot beverages altogether if possible.
Tip 5: Limit Alcohol Consumption
Alcohol is a common trigger for rosacea flares. Limit your alcohol consumption, and avoid drinking red wine, which is a particularly common trigger.
Tip 6: Identify and Avoid Triggers
Identifying and avoiding triggers is crucial for managing rosacea flares. Keep a journal of your symptoms and note any activities or foods that seem to trigger a flare. Avoid these triggers whenever possible.
Tip 7: Use Gentle Skincare Products
Using gentle skincare products is important for managing rosacea flares. Avoid products that contain fragrances, alcohol, or other irritants. Look for products that are specifically designed for sensitive skin.

Tip 8: Avoid Scrubbing Your Skin
Scrubbing your skin can irritate it and trigger a rosacea flare. Avoid using harsh exfoliants or scrubbing your skin too hard. Instead, use gentle cleansing products and avoid rubbing your skin vigorously.
Tip 9: Use a Redness-Reducing Moisturiser
Using a moisturiser that is specifically designed to reduce redness can be helpful for managing rosacea flares. Look for products that contain ingredients like niacinamide or green tea, which can help soothe the skin and reduce inflammation.
